Coues 'n' Sheep

Cool Bull, man. Thanks for post him up!

95" what? Great posts you guys... I think there are a lot of good reasons why it can be said all ways.... except 8 pointer.... I just can't do it.... I Ain't no Dang Eastern'er!!! I think there are still some good points of veiw to weigh in, I hope.... it has been good to read all the input. This topic is kinda like the "coues deer" vs. "cows deer" debate. I will openly admit that I am a 4x4, guy.... I often refer to a buck like Colton's as an "In Line 4 point", or a 4x4, or just a 4 point, cuz it has 4 points in a row.... and my true dream Coues is an "In Line 5 Point".... one of these days I will get one on my wall! Maybe January will be kind to me....

I just don't understand what drives some folks...... Only one way to describe them..... Frickin' Losers!

There are Three early archery hunt units in 6A... unless he has the late hunt.... then it is the whole unit and then all I can say is pray it is dry and hunt water!

I'd have guessed it was a Porcupine that was eatin that tree... about the right hieght for one stnding on the ground.... just my $.02. Looks like a Great time! Gunna have to try those Margs one of these times!

Why are you selling? I'd like to see the pics... might take one or two....

I'm going there for the first time this year and I have a map! Want some company???

Hey.... I got a bow and a tag.... I can go with you anytime! That is aTOAD!!!!!

Just an amazing buck.... Congrats and Good Luck!

Ya, know that is actually quoted from the shooters Bible! I almost spit on my screen.... How right you are, Lark!! Welcome back, Old-Timer!

Just wanted to point out that even though you are going to hunt totally different conditions on the Oct. hunt... you may want to excersize even more patients in the field. The concept that you saw lots of doe and no bucks in a Dec. (rut) hunt can mean many things.... but, I'd bet money that the bucks were there. If you find a spot that has deer.... don't leave. I am infamous for sitting on the same rock all stinkin' day.... and it is not cuz I am lazy! There be bucks in that thick brush! Best of luck to you!

ROFLMAO!!!! They are still coming to kill your deer, Bob! You have lots more deer and better odds of killing a biggun'!! Quit trying to scare everyone!!!

That colloection is looking Really Good, Mike!! Congrats!

I'd would have higher goals and use the rifle..... but that is just me. I have had a shortage of good rifle deer tags so I would make the best of that, since I can hunt with my bow any time and again in January anyhow. Also with a late tag.... as I have mentioned before.... "One Ten or Nothing, Baby!!!"

AMEN on that......... Awe come on guys.... .... moving to a small town doesn't mean that you are destined to lose your wife.... .... although many have complained that they lost their turn. I am soo kidding... ...it is a small town joke that we talk about, but truely, I'd worry more about that in the city than in a small town..... it is just that in small towns you here about it and everything else you don't care to know about folks.... Jason, Let us know if they figure you out as the driver on the rental!! Also, I'd like to know if anyone has ever gotten or been served from a photo radar ticket in Star Valley??

Man, Jason!!! Sorry about your truck!! That SUCKS!!!

+1 Best of luck with that.... You never know how it will turn out... if the guy has the respect and concern that you are showing then it will not be a problem. I'd just be sure to be in my blind an hour or so before grey light. And I'd park my rig so that he might know he was beat and didn't walk all the way in? ...not blocking, just in an obvious manner.

Better get all the testing done on your female.... any good breeder/stud owner will require it.... as you should of them....

Very nice! Mexico?

Thats what I am talking about Elkaholic Compensated is the key word.... as soon as you have been compensated you just broke their rules... Now if a guy was to "Find" money somewhere it becomes a matter of "finders keepers, losers weepers"!

I grew up a trapper, and only a meat hunter when the "opportunity" was needed for the freezer to be filled... Caught my first Raccoon in a leg hold, at age 5 it was no more than a 1/4 mile from my childhood home, which is just up the road from where I live today. Boy was I proud... packed him home in my Pack-Basket all by myself... out of pride! I still have that coon (mounted) and sitting in my bedroom. I think I was about 11-12 when I shot my first big game.... a cow elk in 6a. It was a meat thing.... don't have pics.... . I don't have many hunting pics till I got serious about more of the trophy hunting after meeting and then marrying my wife at age 19, who at the time was a more accomplished hunter than I was. She motivated me to step it up!

You can store it at my house, Mike! I will even check it's water it's ablity to diplace water for you while it is here.

The times you all spent afield were/are priceless! Congrats to you for having those opportunities and using them so wisely. What a guy, your Dad.... and I'd bet he's smiling at you know, for not forgetting the good times! I hope that I can be a fortunate as your Father, Thank You for sharing.

Absolutely Fantastic bucks in this Thread!!! Congrats to you all!!! Out of all the Big Bucks, I'd like to make a comment about Ward's boy's first buck... My hats off to you for getting your son involved at such a young age and for having him shoot such a perfect first deer! It is so easy as parents to let our pride push us to harvest bigger deer for our kids and it does not make them "hungry", IMO.... I am certain that, that young man is looking for a bigger one this year and will probably find it! Congrats to you and your son.... there is no more Proud moments than sharing it with your kids!! I, as a hunter, find myself the bridesmaid and not the bride... .... although Ihave helped take some really big rifle coues.... my, personal, largest is a 92"er and I have only had two rifle coues tags my entire life.... However, that gives me lots of time for bow hunting with my buddies and that is where my largest Coues came from. Clay scored him at 108 1/8 gross P&Y. Most of you have seen this pic before.... I can honestly tell you that although it is the biggest, all of my archery coues (7) are my favorite one.... there is just something special about getting a little lucky and being a little good.... on the right day, in the right place, at the right time.... on the Grey Ghost.... kind gets my blood pumpin'!!
